Kukuau Studio

Kukuau Studio Music instruction by day, performance art gallery by night. Full audio recording & creative project management available. Private party rates $100 per hour.

Where the cats & kitties congregate in a community based multi-media art space w/150 seats & available for public or private events. OFFERING FULL AUDIO RECORDING SERVICES!!! I feel this thing we're doing with Kukuau Studio is a path before us & ya, we need to occasionally bushwhack to keep it clear, but it's still a path & no one put it there, it was revealed. This path is meant to be shared with

others walking on it too. A creative force with different skill sets bringing a unique level of creativity to the people. All to help inspire the community to feel the magic awaiting inside themselves within this renovated warehouse in the heart of downtown Hilo. Rates for music lessons are $25 per 1/2, $45 per hr. WE NOW OFFER FULL AUDIO RECORDING SERVICES!!! Rates vary depending on the scope of the project. Some events will have ticket sales and/or cover charges where Kukuau Studio will work out percentages with the promoter. There are few art spaces on the Big Island where people can feel free to create & bring their creative energies together with other like-minded people. One of the biggest goals we have is to fill that niche. Bub Pratt has been a music instructor specializing in guitar for over 20 years. He has created or helped create several gallery/studio art spaces & many art installations while working with the city of Bremerton WA. & the Amy Burnett Gallery from 2003-2010. His eye for art & design, love of Jazz music, sharing with the community & an open, good-natured personality with a gift for networking, give him the experience & the vision to navigate this endeavor.
